New From Sauer: Sauer 100 Classic Rifles

Sauer’s debuting their new Sauer 100 Classic and 100 Classic XT rifles at NRA. the big selling point: Sauer quality at an affordable $699 MSRP. As their email trumpets: “The Sauer 100 raises the bar in this price class with features like the adjustable single-stage trigger, three-position safety, hammer-forged original Sauer barrel, famously smooth Sauer bolt and Ergo Max stock geometry taken from premium Sauer models such as the S 101 and S 404. Add the Double-stack magazine: 5+1 round capacity in Mini and Standard calibers, 4+1 round capacity in Magnum calibers and the Sauer 100 sets a new standard.” More pics (of the XT) and specs after the jump . . .

If you worship at the church of Litz as I do, you may share my conclusion that there are no better hunting loads under the sun for North American medium game inside 300 yards than the 120GMX 6.5 Creedmoor, or the 130GMX .270 Winchester Hornady Superformance. You may also have discerned that Sauer is seemingly the only company to offer production .270 Win rifles in twists faster than 1:10″. In fact their 1:8.6″ twist in .270 happens to be ideal on paper for the 130 GMX.

So, gentle writers and readers, does anyone know if the new lineup retains the fast twist in .270? If so, that is going to be quite a sleeper in the market.

I think i’m in love. A 6.5 x 55 bolt gun less than 100 years old.
Moma don’t know it yet, but I know what i’m getting for Christmas.
I was working on the Ruger precision, but ts just so busy. this is clean and slick.
